Bridgeport High School Academic Boosters "Treasure" Sale Saturday; Find Bargains, Help Good Cause

Is it time for you to clean closets, garages, shelves, nooks and crannies? Is it time for you to find another home for the rusty bird cage, old chairs, books and once-used NERF guns? Do you think that someone else might see your used goods as his or her new treasure?

Would you like to make some mad money from your dust-collectors and space-consumers? Can’t wait for the city-wide sale on August 5? Do you enjoy searching yard sales for that perfect collectable, gently-used purse or pair of vintage jeans?

The BHS Academic Boosters Corporation (BHS ABC) and Young Life can help!

This Saturday, May 20, from 7:30 a.m. to noon, the parking lots in front of Bridgeport High School and Bridgeport Middle School will be the place to find shabby chic and one-of-a-kind treasures. If you would like to take this opportunity to work your own sale, then you can peddle your wares in parking spaces purchased for $10 /space from the BHS Academic Boosters. You can set up your space at 7 a.m., sell your goods until noon, and keep 100 percent of your sale money.

If working a sale isn’t for you, but perusing and buying bargains appeals to you, then stop by both the BHS and BMS parking lots ready to get a great deal! Members of Young Life will also be taking over the BMS parking lot to sell donated items. Used toys, books, household articles and clothes will all be available for purchase.

All money raised by the BHS ABC is used for a variety of activities such as tutoring and recognizing academic achievement with honor roll cards, lamps and letters, and senior academic awards.

Money raised by the kids will go directly toward their camp trips for Young Life (high school students) and WyldLife (middle school students).

So, no excuses. Clean your drawers and empty your garage. Make room for more stuff. See you Saturday!
